0:00Welcome to the truffle capital of the world.
0:03No, we are not in France.
0:05And this is not Italy.
0:07Over 70% of truffles worldwide come from Spain.
0:12And this little town is responsible for the majority, but the thing is, it’s a very well kept secret.
0:19Because there is a lot of money to be made from this black gem.
0:23And if you don’t know where it comes from, you sell it as if it were yours, and you control the price.
0:30By the time it gets to a 3 star Michelin restaurant, the price has multiplied 15 times.

0:46This is a story of risk.
0:48“If you dedicate yourself to truffles, you will make more money than with sheep”

1:26And about the oil, that one you ordered with some fries, and probably have in your pantry, that has absolutely no truffle in it, and can ruin your palate.
1:36In times where we believe everything we hear, we had to find out for ourselves.
